"The name and phone number of this BBS changed in 85 to The Crystal Caverns. CC ran until late 88 in the same city and area code but the prefix changed from 232 to 847. In six years this system was up it recieved over 10,000 calls. In its prime, ER/CC recieved over 50 back to back calls a day. In 1992 I set up a Wildcat BBS called Electromania. Its life span was short lived however because me and my Co-Sysop of The Crystal Caverns, Dan Newman (The Starchief) decided to set up a multi-node system called The Void (Netherland Express) which ran from 92 to 96. We had four phone lines on The Void and ran The Wildcat BBS System. The main number was 817-838-7560." - K. Brad Holder

Fort Worth, TX The Zepp |
(1986-1990) Steve White | Opus |
"I started out in 1986 (it might have been 87') with an IBM PC with a V20 (BIOS modded to an XT), and a 10 MEG full height HDD, and a 300 baud external Hayes modem. The 63 Watt power supply used to overheat with the HDD, so I used to have to keep the lid off of it and a fan running into it to keep it up. I eventually went to a 286 system and 1200 baud with 2 20 MEG drives. I didn't have a case for my system, so I just ran it all on a cardboard box by a chair in my living room. I used to run OPUS BBS software. I originally started off with the name of the BBS being The Led Zeppelin BBS, but one of the users thought up the name The Zepp, so me and everyone else started calling it that. I met a lot of them, and we had parties, and some of them are life long friends. I didn't know we were the precursor to the internet." - Steve White

"I ran 3 or 4 BBSes on that number from 1986 or so until 1990. First Mt. Olympus, then one I can't remember the name of, then the Tower of Babble (a FidoNet node). There may be another BBS in there somewhere, too. I ran the first couple on a Commodore 64. I ran 6485 and then (I think) Ivory, and then Ribit for a short time. Then I upgraded to an IBM PC XT Clone with a 10MB full height 5 1/4" hard drive. The Tower of Babble was reasonably popular, and dedicated to languages." - Darin Arrick

During the Fidonet days the BBS name changed to EE-BBS. The node was 130/19 and later on 130/54. The BBS had over 450 registered users, and featured echomail and "file echoes." - David Johnson

"This BBS ran HAL BBS software for it's first 6 months or so in existance. CNET BBS software was aquired from a trade on the west coast and it ended up being the first CNET BBS in 817 oo online. The CNET code was so slow you had to compile the BBS code to get it to run at a reasonable speed even at 300 baud." - Marcus Patman

One of the first in the area to adopt early bidirectional downloading protocols like HSLink. Extremely cool Sysop Muddy was one of the areas most admired hackers." - Mdibin

(1984-1986) John Evans | CCGMS BBS |
"Scavenger's Island ran on a 64 and two 1541's, but I don't remember which BBS software. My handle was "Red Rebel" at the time. John's Program Exchange ran on the same 64 & 2 1541's, and CCGMS BBS software purchased from Craig Smith and Aaron Hightower (who lived nearby) for $30. Modems used through the years were an automodem (1650), a HESmodem(?), a 1660, and eventually a 1670. My CCGMS board was one of three boards in the 817 area code at the time that formed a "Sysop Alliance" where we shared the same user list, so people could log in using the same credentials on all three boards. The other two boards in the alliance were "Rigormortis" and "The Wall."" - John Evans

"I AM the Sysop of this BBS. That was the old number from about 1990 to 1999. I started "The Olde West" om Feb 15, 1980 and I STILL run it today. The current number is 817-277-5544, and it STILL runs on the old DOS Phoenix RCS (no even Y2K compliant) I am currently porting it over to WildCate WIN32. I also hosted the GameMaster's Realm and Mist of Oblivion on the same computer (had a front end package written for Phoenix caleld: PreNm (Pre Net mailer) and it allowed the selection of multiple BBS software from the connection menu. The GameMaster's Realm was actually started on Sep 01,1990 and is also still run today (the Mist of Oblivion was started about the same time, but was a role play message board and was a replacement for Kingdom of Nyrond). Anyway, just to set the record straaight, thought I would drop you a line. We are still kicking today and on of the oldest BBS in Texas (actually the Chrysalis in Dallas is/was older)" - Doug Rhea

Arlington, TX Mad Laboratory |
(1987-1993) Mad Scientist | WWIV 4 |
"I was just a kid with a BBS. I leeched all of the g-files from Cult of the Dead Cow from a California BBS and put them online. I ran tw2k, Pimpwars, Solar Realms Elite. I didn't run BRE after I finally paid for the SRE key. I also had a 261 prefix for a while, and ran voice first on a metro 265 prefix. I really wanted to be Elite, but I didn't have a budget. I did get a few calls here and there. I tried Emulex / LSD / other Forum mods, TAG, Telegard, Renegade. Overall, I always fell back to WWIV, and for a while was on WWIV-LINK and WWIV-NET. Temporarily, I was "Wasted Lands" BBS, Sysop Radiation Master; Midnight Shadow, etc. I was Mad Scientist for a long time. When I was 8, I wanted a "Mad Scientist Dissect an Alien" kit and used that for my handle on commie (c64 / c128) boards. For 8-char handle, I used omnimax because Omnimax is better than Unimax, a guy who I felt had ripped my parents off when I was 8 or 9. Anyway, eventually, Mad Scientist gave way to Omnimax, even on the Mad Laboratory (Lah-BOR-uh-tor-ee). I always had to have a BBS presence. Somehow, this seemed more permanent. Eventually, I lost interest, and and got a dial-up account in 1994. I continued with omnimax mostly, and 'generic' once in a while. In 1996, I registered Omnitech.net. I tried to resurrect WWIV on TCPIP there. Again, not much there. Just a place for my stuff, but a handful of people were regulars. Eventually, messaging, blogging, etc all took over, and omnimax was overloaded (projector technology) so I inverted my nic to xaminmo. I don't consider myself to have run a BBS in earnest since 1993, though I guess, technically, FTP + SSH + HTTP multi-user could be considered a BBS. This is what happens when you start modemming at age 6." - Mad Scientist
